Nude Byte

can anyone explain the card unlock in the gallery it all same to me ?

im stuck at some type of screen, and there is a sign that says not naked not a slut, what i need to do? (i try to press EVERYTHING but there nothing i can do)

A great game, amazing gameplay and great visuals, I can only recommend it^^

I also got 2 questions: 

1.What happens when you get a version of a card to the max level (I read that it is 10)l? Does this version of the card disappear from the card pool?  Or is there any other way to reduce the pool of cards that I can draw from packs? (My goal is to complete the gallery)

2. Is there a maximum upgrade level for the cards the other inmates can gift (or trade) you?

TL;DR: The game is fun, but makes your experience miserably by forcing you to sink time in inefficient menus or in repetitive gameplay.

This game is so fucking fun. And this only makes me more annoyed with what seems to be the design philosophy behind it.

I think a good game is design to make you have the biggest amount of fun possible. Most micro-transaction games are design to make you spend the most amount of money on it. This game looks like is make so you sink the most amount of time on it; it doesnt matter if its still fun, it doesnt matter if you will spend some money on it; the game just want you to play endless. So, in a certain point, you stop to play for the fun and start to play for the grind, and in other point, you realize how pointless the grind is, and stop playing the game at all. Which is a shame, because like I said, the game is fucking fun!

You can see the lack of respect with the player's time with some little implementations. For example, you need to know which bits are dropping in each stage. So, the easiest implementation would be to have a dialogue box written somewhere in stage selection which bits are dropping there currently. But no. You have to quit the stage selection, click in a television far away from you character, and watch a cutscene where it will tell you which are the bits from the day. And I hope you have good memory, because there is a lot of bits name to remember, you have to keep in mind which ones you need, which one are avaliable, and where they drop. This make that, sometimes, you have to watch this cutscene more then once. And since the bits drop location change every other play, you have to watch this cutscene at least once every 2 plays. It gets old very quickly.

You can also see the lack of respect with the bath mechanic. Once in like four plays you can spend 10 minutes doing absolutely nothing while your dolls take a bath. To send they to the bath, you have spend some more time walking the city (a compact menu? Not on this game!) to found they. All this for a almost insignificant amount of XP.

And speaking of XP, the amount of XP to max level a doll is ridiculous. The amount of time you have to spend playing with a doll to max her level is not compatible with the repetitive gameplay loop. Actually, the amount of unlockable content is not compatible with the gameplay variety.

Like, after you get level 5 with you prisoner, you start to win way more money that you can spend. With the stores based on RNG that are every 8th play, you can only spend so much money before need a recicle, and the more content you have already unlocked on the stores, more likely is to RNG give you a content you have already unlock on the store, and less money you will be able to spend on that cicle. In some point, you have money to spend on multiple consecutives cicles, without the need to play to get more money. But the only way to recicle the stores is to play the game and earn some more money. And the implemented solution for this problem was to make so it takes more time so you reach this point, but is still already as bad as it always where (or worse, because before you could at least recicle the stores without having to play a stage 8 times)

And then there is the core gameplay. Which, like I already said twice, is fun. But is repeatitive. There is only one gamemode. This gamemode have some variety because of the RNG on the weapons you will have, the stage avaliable for play, and the hazards presents on the stage. But this variety is not enough to be satisfactory with the sheer amount of times you will have to replay it in order to unlock all the content the game offers.

The game almost screams micro-transactions. It feels like it should be a "spend some dollars to recicle the store", "spend some money to make so your dolls dont need bath", "spend some money to have a XP booster", "spend some money to have acess to more concise menus". But there isn't. There is no microtransactions on the game (thank God) except for the passcodes you can unlock on the Patreon to see some nudity or bigger tits.

I think the idea for a "micro-transaction" would be like "hey, to satisfy your curiosity (or sexual desire) of seeing all those arts from those cars, you can play my game eternally, or support me on Patreon!". But for a player like me (and maybe like you, if you read until there), this doesn't work. I don't want to unlock all the cards to see the art. I want to unlock all of them because I'm something of a completionist, and want to see my gallery fulfilled. And I want to have max level cards because I'm something of a power player, and want to have my characters be strong.

The gameplay is fun and hard enough so I want to have a strong team, build one if you want to say this way. But the grind to make a strong team, the grind to have a max level character and/or a max level 3-stars cards is way to big. And all that grind only to enter in a stage with some shit weapons, and feel like shit. All this in a offline hentai game, where you cannot say to your friends "look this cool card I have!", nor to the online community. So the grind gets old and pointless at some time.

I have a suggestion of a new gameplay mode that would add some variety to the gameplay, makes the grind less tedious, and also less pointless. I will elaborate it on the comments below.

This harsh review comes of a place of love, of someone who loves the game and want to have some fun with it. I played the game in the old times of random city, and was so excited when it came back. But I only found even more grind-focus game. And been grind-focus isn't a problem, I have more than 2000 hours in Warframe, the problem is how pointless the grind feels in this game. I just want to have some fun in Nude Byte, but the way the games feels right now, is really miserable.

This game is exactly the type of game that I have been looking for ! Great work !

I am not sure if there is a dedicated area for reporting issues but I've noticed that support cards that don't have an additional effect like 000 Basic Nicole, during a game the top right corner of the screen shows the card with the effect of the previous doll's card effect (like Guardian, Ball Hunter ...etc).

this might sound like a useless, harsh ramble but these are my strong feelings about a game i deeply enjoy but am unsatisfied with:

i really enjoy the game, the gameplay is fun, fast and easy to understand. but there's no variation, the new modifiers are cool but they barely change the gameplay really. the early parts of a match are really boring without any bytes, i think the map should start with some bytes already on it.

none of the weapons are really fun. they're boring, and whenever i get a  bad one i have to force myself to keep playing so they change. it would be better if each doll had defined weapons and the weapon cards changed stats for the weapon and the secondary. For example, a "sniper weapon card" would change a full auto into a semi-auto with higher power or something like that.

the current system for getting cards suck. it's too grindy for a single-player offline game, and as i said, weapon cards are really boring so if you're not collecting everything you don't really feel the incentive to get new ones. i think there should be a separate weapon pack where you can only get dupes to unlock the variations "busty and nude" and when they're finished, you can't get them anymore. this would make it so you keep playing with the weapons you enjoy with the playstyle you like while still being able to get new things.

speaking of card packs. they shouldn't be limited to 3 per day, i think there should be a card shop where you can buy from, for example, a choice of 5 packs that get overwritten by other ones so you can still get the pack variation. these wouldn't reset with a day.

speaking of day resets, 8 is too much. 6 would be fine. and also, i like how you can get different byte types that cost more in harder stages, but i don't think card packs should cost specific bytes. they should cost money.

i also thought about a certain modifier that's applied before a match, onto a specific map when you're choosing. it's 2x speed. not really movement speed, but you get double bits and you only get 30 seconds to score. also, balls would count as 2. but the "skip modifier" that increases the minimum balls would be applied, so it's high risk high reward. this would make for a very fun variation i think.

i like how the new moves for each doll feels. they're great. the art is awesome, and the visuals of each map are awesome too. i think killing bytes should paint nearby tiles.

there's a bug where a impersonator's little body spawns below the ground and is unkillable. 

i really like the new difficulty, the game feels way harder in a satisfying way.

so, basically everything that pertains to actual gameplay is very good and satisfying while everything you do outside of it is grindy and boring. also i think at max level, dolls should be able to equip 2 upgrade cards.

i love this game and i probably have about 200 hours, but couldn't even get myself to play 20 on the new update because it just feels weird.

also please give us a bloom and motion blur toggle

i can't download the game through the itch app, only the save transfer app, i think it's because you forgot to add a tag to it to say it's compatible with windows?

Where can I buy bits? The help says you can buy it with money, but I don't know where you can buy it.

Question about max level upgrade card (I've yet to reach it), can you still mix it with other enchantment type and hopefully (pray RNGesus!) get the one you want?

EDIT, Max Card Reached: Oof, can't do anything to them huh? So does that mean the maxed card won't be in the packs/prisoners/mix RNG pool? Or we're still getting "junks"?

EDIT 2: Welp, Prisoners still trade them out. I hope this card system get a QoL update in the future. 😝

_____________

Need a hotkey to hide the HUD/UI whenever and wherever. Sometime you just want to enjoy the views without the dialog box.

I dont know if its a bug, but when i try to type the passcode i write and nothing apears in the line (like it dont recognize my keyboard or something) and only allows me press enter, but then give me the message "invalid passcode"

Help, i want titties :(

Hey, I'd just like to start saying - this game is amazing. Super fun, easy to lose a couple hours in the gameplay. I only have a few gripes though:

1. When merging two cards together of two different variations (e.g Basic merging with Basic and Busty) it doesn't specify which of the two cards is actually getting buffed and which one is getting deleted. I've had multiple occasions when I wanted to make a specific card with a good ability stronger, and tried to merge with another of the same character, and I ended up deleting the good card and buffing the worse one. Maybe in the future instead of simply merging them together we could have an enhancement system? It's basically the same thing but it's made clear which card will get buffed and which card is being sacrificed.

2. I've had the crazy idea of wanting to complete the card gallery, but I have no idea what the requirements are for "collecting" a weapon card. Is it based on how long you use the card or is it based on kills or something else entirely? It would be cool if when you highlighted a card in the spiral gallery thing, it showed the requirements for unlocking it (and maybe how close you are to unlocking it).

3. I know everyone else is saying it, but it would be nice if we could bring back the (or implement a new) character that can be paid to skip to the next day, instead of having to spend half an hour grinding the arena to move onto the next day in order to update the style shop, the card packs and the prisoner requests.

The only other thing I'm not even gonna bother making a point for (because it doesn't REALLY need to be said), but more maps, style items, game modes and hazards would be great for replayability, You can probably just disregard this part because I assume that this one is a given in due time.

Alright that's it from me. I'll keep checking back here frequently for any news or updates, once again, game is super fun and has lots of potential. Good work 👍

Well after almost 100% i love the game :)  (It would be nice to have a tracker like to see what is missing).

Suggest:

Let the minimap rotate.

New animations for capturing the firewall (buyable in the Style Shop).

New way/card Mark the sluts dolls on the minimap (buyable in the Boost Station).

Automatic mini charge for dolls, If you recharge it manually the effect is stronger (buyable in the Boost Station).

Allow to unpause in Glitch City with Esc.

Bugs:

Dimi NSFW models they look strange/bugged.

Sample dont change model to NSFW regardless of whether you have the options activated in the Gallery (Display)

Sample Doll It only shows the size of the boobs from when you get it/purchased the doll and not the size you currently have. (Gallery)

When you have NSFW mode on the display name cover Marcy Pop P*ssy.

is there a way to change the enhancement of a card after its already max level?

oh and also i wanted to ask if u could make it so that already bought items from the style shop would appear less since its kinda annoying to keep resetting just to get 3 new styles

amazing game manyakis I player your oldest ones like adventure time but am want know the max level on the cards ? 

Really great game! One small issue to do with the advertisements and the gallery: Seems like advertisements in Glitch City credited to Manyakis don't get added to the gallery when you stare at them for 60 seconds.

Hayo !
I have a feature request/suggestion.
Can we get a UI scale slider or something ?
I find some UI elements to be a bit too big to my taste and they get in the way of my vision, creates a bit of clutter for me. :x
Mainly the random modifiers info, and the twin chatter at the bottom is bothersome. The rest of the UI is fine, tho I also would like it to be a bit smaller. So a slider would be nice. Dunno how hard it would be for one to be implemented, but I think some options would be nice, maybe something like there is for mouse sense settings, going from 1 to 10, 1 being 10% size, 10 being 100%(Default) size.

does anyone know the file directory for the images on the buildings? I don't think they are in the gallery and I don't want to spend the time to see all of them.

Hello again, I believe I might have found a potential cause for the infinite loading/game freezes. I think it has something to do with the game not being able to find valid placements for dolls in certain poses. I acquired a new doll (Candi the mouse) and attempted to put her in a sitting pose, and when I quit to the main menu and attempted to load into Glitch City, the game stopped responding. When I reverted to a prior save and did the same thing without changing the pose, the game loaded perfectly fine. I hope this helps!

Hello i let my dolls bathing before update to 6.1.2 and now timer never goes down so i cant play....

PD: i pay 29k to guard to help clean faster the dolls and now is fixed.

I have a genuine question. Is there a way to make your prisoner more "endowed"? Since i've noticed that while visiting other cells, some of the prisoners were packing heat. Is there relevance between the rank and the size? If not, is this going to be a thing? (Also might add sizes for people not liking huge badonkas)

So i'm not good with code or sure what's causin this, but sometimes nude byte will launch but crash after i click start game. I got an error code that it popped out, 
"[12:07 AM] Scene Before: "PreCheck" Scene: "Intro" Error in EquipLoad: EquipSurv: Index was outside the bounds of the array."
if that means anything to you.

It seems that Ramlethal's card (Naked + Busty) is bugged that card always appears in the pool.

I have a small issue with Patreon (it doesnt work in my region). Are there any other platforms you use for same purposes?

Hello, I'm having an issue with the upgrade card packs. Every pack I purchase gives me the same card for the final of the four cards. I keep getting Ramlethal if she's in the pool for the pack, or XJ-9 if not.

just bought the patreon yesterday and broooooo ur game is soo fun i love it!!! really hope there are some different gamemodes planned other than the one thats already here :) <3

- passion pit is too bright

- i miss the glitch character that reset the day for a price

- can you add some way to know what maps gives what bits

Leveling up is very slow

Is there any way to level up quickly?

Is losing 5 times in a row a normal new experience?
Also the girls don't seem to sexually interact with anything during the games didn't they used to do that? I'm spending so much time getting my ass beat learning the game that I don't even know where the Porn Begins! Also I have to learn how to invest?
